Does Ultraviolet Have the Shortest Wavelength?

Each color has a different wavelength. Red has the longest wavelength and violet has the shortest wavelength. When all the waves are seen together, they make white light. Ultraviolet (UV) light—is radiation with a wavelength shorter than that of visible light, but longer than X-rays, in the range 10 nm to 400 .

Does ultraviolet light have the shortest wavelength?

The higher energy, shorter wavelength far UV region spans wavelengths between 91 and 200 nm. Extreme UV radiation has the shortest wavelength range and highest energies of the regions of the ultraviolet spectrum, and lies on the border between UV and X-ray radiation.

What is the shortest wavelength?

Radio waves, infrared rays, visible light, ultraviolet rays, X-rays, and gamma rays are all types of electromagnetic radiation. ... Radio waves have the longest wavelength, and gamma rays have the shortest wavelength.
